I posted this in the “Visual Arts and Film Majors” section, but I thought I’d try here too, so I could get other peoples’ input (since I’m not looking for a school that caters exclusively to the arts) – I hope that’s not unnecessary or annoying…

Anyway, I’m looking for a school that has a good ceramics program (and, ideally, is strong in environmental studies as well). I’d prefer to go to a smallish progressive liberal arts school, but I don’t want to rule out options like Alfred University. Right now I’m looking at Warren Wilson College (where Leah Leitson teaches ceramics – I’ve met her and love her work), and Prescott College (which doesn’t seem to have much of a ceramics program but really appeals to me otherwise). The Claremont Colleges, RISD, Evergreen, and the University of Rochester have all been recommended to me. Any other advice?
